Natalie woke up the next day on Adam's kitchen floor, and hoisted herself up slowly. Adam was still asleep.
She smiled, and realised it was a month since they met. A lot had changed.
She grimaced as she grabbed a chair for support. The chair fell from under her, and she flew down to the floor,
the chair smacking onto her wrist. She screamed, and tears formed in her eyes as she lay on the floor. Adam
ran in, and helped her up. 'I got up, fine. Then I slipped...' Natalie said, a lump forming in her throat.
Adam hugged her, a supportive arm on her back. 'Ssshh. It's fine. And I'll get you breakfast, and a whole loada
cushions. We're off to Virginia.'. 'Car?' she asked, shaking her stinging wrist. 'Nope.' he said, keeping his
arm in place. 'Plane. Booked it specially.'. She smiled. 'You didn't have to do that, I woulda been OK in the car.'
she said, hugging him. He shook his head, 'If we go by car, you'll just end up being uncomfortable for 3 hours. If
we go by plane, its 45 minutes.'.
2 hours later, they were there, but there were only a few roadies and a couple of wrestlers at the venue. They went
out to the ring, and Natalie lay at the side laughing as Adam and Matt Hardy mucked around, stunnering each
other all over the place. The guys came over and sat on the ring apron talking. 'How the back?' Matt said, sitting down.
'Hurts like a bitch.' Natalie said, trying to move so she could see the two as she talked to them. Matt laughed,
'Yeah, well generally it will. I did it myself once, scared myself to death. I thought I'd broken my damn neck!'.
Natalie looked at him, eyes wide. 'Really? That's exactly what I thought.'. 'Yep', Matt said, nodding, 'But mine actually
healed within a month, and the doctors all said it wouldn't, so hope you're lucky too.'. Natalie nodded and thought to herself
for a minute. Matt left to go find Jeff and Amy, and Adam helped her up. 'You need more painkillers?' he asked, as he stood her
on the ground. Natalie shook her head, 'I'll be fine.'.
They walked back to the locker room, and got some lunch and a soda at the cafeteria. Lilian approached them, and Adam rolled
his eyes - he, like countless others backstage, saw Lilian as a prima-diva, trying to be something she wasn't. 'Hey Natalie.'
she said, leaning on the table. 'Hows the back?'. Natalie laughed, and Lilian smiled. 'You're getting asked that a lot huh?'.
'Yeah.' Natalie replied, taking a swig of soda. 'Y'know...' Lilian laughed, 'You're not as bad as Jay. He broke his...'. 'Ass bone.'
Natalie laughed. 'Funny, I get told that alot too.'.
Adam and Natalie laughed as Lilian gave them a strange look and walked away. It was then Adam leaned over and kissed her, properly.
Natalie felt warm inside as he smiled at her...
